Hi,
I am newbie and i am using MAMP with rails for trying out few things in
web development.
I just upgraded to rails 1.1 and created a new rails depot project and
when i just gone to change my database.yml, I get this
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
development:
adapter: mysql
database: depot_development
username: root
password: root
host: localhost
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
and I added
socket: /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock to the end of database.
and if i generate scaffold i get this error
*Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'
(2) *
how can i connect my MAMP socket to the database.yml file and go on with
the project.
thanx
